Though generally well-liked and savvy enough to act as a core member of an early majority alliance, Laura was considered a very poor challenge performer, and was eliminated for this reason after her tribe suffered an extended streak of Immunity Challenge losses.

At the Day 7 Immunity Challenge, Laura struggled with swimming to the point that Reynold actually had to aid her. This greatly contributed to Gota's loss, and Laura feared for her position in the tribe. In order to protect herself, Laura promised Reynold that she and Julia Landauer would join his alliance in voting Shamar Thomas out. However, she went back on her word and voted for Hope Driskill with the rest of the majority alliance.

Following Shamar's evacuation and Gota's next loss, Laura was targeted for being the weakest member of the tribe and a liability in challenges. Thus, Matt Bischoff urged the rest of the Gota Alliance to vote out Laura as opposed to Eddie Fox or Reynold. While much of the tribe was hesitant in doing so, they ultimately followed Matt's advice, despite Laura's plan to vote out Reynold. As a result, Laura was unanimously voted out 6-0 (Reynold played his Idol, negating Laura's vote against him).

Voting History

^1 In There's Gonna Be Hell to Pay, the vote ended with a 3-3-3 tie between Eddie, Hope, and Shamar, forcing a revote. Laura did not change her vote on the revote.^2 In Kill or Be Killed, Reynold used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating Laura's vote against him.
